Todays topic was requested by one of my readers and I hope this will help many of you guys and thank you for suggesting this topic! As I mentioned before in one of my previous posts, I used to finish exams very quickly and in A/Ls chemistry paper I even did an extra essay question (both of physical chemistry questions + organic chemistry). Now how do I do that? It's through practice. There are certain skills that you need to have to be able to finish quickly and give correct answers quickly at the same time.  In an exam people waste most of their valuable time by thinking which questions to do. By the time you figure out which questions you are gonna answer, you have already spent more than 10 minutes. First thing is to avoid that. Especially in exams like A/Ls you know what are the essays that are going to be there. So pick your question...

  Like I always say we all procrastinate. Nobody can be productive 24x7 throughout their entire life time right? For Advanced Level student the consequences of procrastination is life changing as the exam will most probably decide the path of your life for a next couple of decades. (I am not saying your entire life depends on this, but we don't need to look at our past and regret, do we?) So today let me tell you about how to minimize being lazy and get work done, 01. Remove all the distractions and focus on goals. I'm very serious. Do not get yourself into relationships... (I am not against those. You can have a one if you are good at not texting/ day dreaming 24x7 about that person. Most of us are not, so if you can't control yourself then it is better not to get into a relationship this soon.. The world is not gonna end y'all. There are so many nice guys out there.) Be independent. The way I say it is this. Imagine all your friends, relatives are all gone and there i...

                                In the famous study culture students are studying for 9-11 hours a day without sleep and most of us are proud to say that we sacrificed our sleep for studies. I have even seen many teachers advising students that studies are more important than sleep, but is it? In my life sleeping is the number one priority. I'm not even kidding. If I go to an exam without sleep my performance will be worse than a no study proper sleep situation. Sleep actually has a huge impact on how we perform and our levels of concentration. Lets dig in to find out how that works.

You want to get something done, but feels like you can't? Well this rule will make you do it whether your goal is to lose weight, to study more or to wake up early. The person behind this rule is Mel Robbins and in her book she define 5 second rule as " If you have an impulse to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill the idea". I will explain how I follow that advice in my own way and you can adapt it to your requirement as well. In my case whenever I need to get something done I tell myself now its 6.05pm...I will wait till 6.15... I will wait 10 more minutes... And that 10 minutes never come. When I heard about the 5 second rule I was in bed trying to get up. So I decided to use it with reversed counting. Instead of saying 1,2,3,4,5 and get up I counted 5,4,3,2,1... and I suddenly jumped out of bed. Later I got to know it has a psychological explanation. When we start counting from 1 it can go up to infinity, but when we reverse...

 As I always we are what we eat it is really really important to maintain our health as students. So today I am going to be talking about food that will aid you in studies. The nutrients found in these help to boost memory and concentration and try to add these to your diet more often. For those who are interested I will mention the research papers as well. 01. Berries Berries contain flavonoids that improves blood flow to the brain, improve communication between brain cells and helps brain cells to make new connections. (01-02) 02. Fish Fish containing Omega 3 improves the structure of neurons. A Japanese study done with 76 adults showed a correlation with fish intake and better memory performance and better brain health. (03) 03. Dark Chocolate Dark chocolate also contains flavonoids and as mentioned below it benefits us by improving neural pathways. Cocoa intake also reduces brain fatigue and improve the blood flow to the brain as well. (04) 04. Citrus Fruits Citrus fruits conta...

  IELTS is a standard English examination which you are supposed to take if you want admission in a foreign university or to apply for some occupations in foreign countries. I face to IELTS exam last year and based on my experience today I am going to give some tips and websites/ YouTube channels I found useful.

The new normal, covid 19 has forced us into move all our study sessions;schools, tuition classes and even university lectures into online form. This has its own advantages as well as disadvantages. In my opinion it has provided a platform for students who perform well, to ace the studies while for average or badly performing students to distract themselves more. Therefore I thought of giving you some tips to manage and balance your daily routine and studies more efficiently. Without further ado lets get started.

When it comes to studying what actually matters is the quality of studying rather than the number of hours we spend cramming. However some of us have trouble concentrating for long durations. Todays post is about having a high quality study session with maximum concentration.
